Car Track Days

Your car, our track

Drive your own* car at Silverstone, the UK’s only F1 circuit. Experience the longest track in the country, and one of the most demanding.

Based at The Silverstone Wing – our state-of-the-art Pit and Paddock complex – you’ll enjoy world-class facilities, including F1 garages (you can even book your own), and the Media Café that overlooks the track.

The track stays open over lunch and there’s an open pit lane, so you have plenty of time out on the track. We even offer in-car training from top instructors.

Your Track Day

Sign-on for all drivers and passengers starts at 7:00am. When the paperwork is done, you get your car sticker and wristband, then grab a coffee and some breakfast before attending the drivers’ briefing at 8:20am. Our instructors let you know what happens throughout the day, track rules and etiquette, and any other information you need. Then it’s time to get ready for the track.

If you’ve never been on a track before, you take a trip in our minibus for some sighting laps, with one of our instructors at the wheel. Once that’s complete, you can go out for some familiarisation laps behind a pace car. At 9:15am the circuit goes live.
